Most teams in the ACC basketball race are at the eight-game mark in the conference season. That would be equal to the football season when no one wanted to take charge. Let's look at where this thing seems to be going.
Carolina, 6-2 - You may have already forgotten they started 0-2. They seem to be the best in the league but I don't hear to any Tar Heel fans jumping for joy right now.
Duke, 6-2 - Last night they fell to 3-3 on the season on the road. That's not a good sign since I don't see any NCAA games scheduled for Cameron Indoor Stadium come March.
Clemson, 5-2 - This is probably the best Clemson team since Eldon Campbell and the Tigers were robbed by Connecticut in 1991.
Boston College, 6-3 - When the Tournament starts guard play is important. BC might make Sweet 16.
Wake Forest, 4-3 - Lack of outside shooting is telling on the Deacs. They must get back to playing good defense.
Virginia Tech, 4-3 - If they make NCAA tournament the Hokies are another team that can cause trouble.
Florida State, 4-3 - They have really good athletes but always seem to let lesser teams beat them.
Miami, 4-5 - The Hurricanes are another team that seem to be better than their record.
Maryland, 3-5 - Not that long ago were National Champions. Looks like this year is a throw away season with all the Gary Williams firing talk.
N C State, 2-5 - Point guard, point guard, are you listening John Wall?
Virginia, 1-6 - I think by year's end they will finish last.
Georgia Tech, 1-7 - Well somebody has to be last.
After only getting four NCAA bids last year the ACC could get as many as eight but I think six is about right. It would not surprise me to see four in sweet 16.
Pat Summitt has won No. 1,000 as a women's basketball coach. The scary part is Pat Summitt is only 56 years old. She could win another 500 if she sticks around that long.
